The Indian stock market declined sharply, with the Sensex falling over 550 points and the Nifty slipping below 24,300 amid Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran's resignation and rising crude oil prices. Tata Group stocks, especially TCS, led the losses, dragging down the IT sector, while metal and PSU banking stocks showed some gains. Market volatility increased, broader indices fell, and investor wealth decreased by over Rs 2 lakh crore during the session.
